Hot 25 Startups 2019: Airlines Technology

Some startups hit their stride just at the right time, as a combination of technical ability, industry and consumer needs come together.

Airlines Technology, armed with NDC accreditation, has already grabbed some important airline customers in the shape of British Airways, American Airlines and FlyDubai, a trend likely to continue as other carriers begin their shift to an enhanced distribution model.

Goals for 2019

In the next year, Airlines Technology says it plans to launch its booking platform into larger markets around the world. It currently offers a single API with 17 NDC direct connect airlines, which it plans to scale to 30 in 2019, and more than 500 other airlines and about 500,000 hotels.

The company also plans to educate its travel agent, corporate and airline clients about NDC and its benefits, as well as explore how blockchain can further the objective of NDC.
